Because doing well on tests matters.
The items on this part of the website are are meant to help with reviewing for tests, and specifically, for the tests you will take in this class. Scoring well on tests isn't the purpose of going to school--but not scoring well on tests causes all sorts of grief and stress. I hope what you find here will spare you the grief and stress and let you focus on the real purposes and value of learning about the past.

Studying well on regular assignments = studying for tests
A separate but related matter is how well you do assignments in the course of the unit. Studying effectively and efficiently when doing assignments and work in class will makes test prep easier. Items listed elsewhere on the 'Study Rsrces' page may help you to get more out of doing regular assignments, or with being more organized and effective when in school, in general.
